hd_fandomchoice - A reminder!
I thought I'd post a reminder about hd_fandomchoice since we haven't had that many suggestions so far. We opened the community more than a week ago, and so far we've had only seven people suggest their favourite H/D fanworks. Seven. This makes me sad. :( I know that there are at least three more people that have said they will post their suggestions (plus there's me and gossymer), but that's still not that many people. If people will later complain about what kind of stuff was suggested, I will cry. No really, I will. :/
So, here's the reminder that I promised in the title of this post: There are less than two weeks left for you to make suggestions in hd_fandomchoice. You don't have to make that many of them... If you can only think of one meta post or one fic, that's enough. :)
Also, somebody said that they don't know which fics to suggest because all the comments in the suggestion post are screened. They said that seeing what other people have suggested would help their memory. So, since we've decided that we would screen comments (and for a good reason, check the FAQ), here are some suggestions on how to think of what to suggest:
* Check your rec list / rec tags if you have them.
* Check your bookmarks.
* Do you have any favourite authors / artists / essay writers / vid-makers, etc.? Go through their stuff and see which one of their works you liked the most. But please, don't suggest everything they've ever made. That would be boring. :P
* Most people (at least me), usually friend people because they like what they post about, or because they like their fics / art / etc. Go through your f-list - maybe there's an author / artist there that you've forgotten about!
* Have you been following any fests? Most of them post masterlists after they're done, so go through those to freshen your memory about which fics / art you liked.
* Maybe you get all of your reading material from rec lists / reccers / rec communities. Check those if you can't remember the titles of fics you've read in the last couple of months.
* Is there a good essay that you've read? Maybe there's a vid that you've been watching over and over again. Maybe you really liked an H/D song that you heard a few months ago. Or maybe you're following an RPG... You can suggest all of those! :D
* See, it's that easy. :D
Okay, that's done. Now a question. I started a Myspace account early last Tuesday (yes, I know, I still feel dirty), so that I could pimp the community there as well. But, as some of you know, you're not allowed to post topics in forums on Myspace until you've had an account for seven days. Well, it's been seven days and I still can't post a topic! *whine* Does anybody know why? :/
